It's likely too hard to understand for some people but here goes... What I said was something along the lines of I support the premise. I don't support any actions that break the law. Peaceful protest, the right to peaceful assembly should be recognized by citizens as a major civil right.
This nation has a history of mistreatment of black people. As recently as the 1960's blacks couldn't drink from the same fountains as whites, eat at the same restuarants etc etc. That was in the 1960's. You and I were alive then.
Some of that treatment lingers to this day, albeit at a reduced intensity as protections were put into place.
The issue of equal treatment by police is what BLM is supposed to be about. Time and again statistics indicate equal treatment is not always afforded. I would like it to be therefore I support their cause of bringing attention to it. But for those not listening carefully, I'll repeat, I do NOT condone violence or distruction of property in trying to do that.
Thats very honourable of you.
Only,
Many thing have changed from the 60s & Not always for the better.
I agree with you up to a point, Blacks as people should be treated the same,
They also as a population have to largely act & behave the same and very very many
Do not.
Black on black murder & crime is ridiculously high - look at places like Chicago.
Very clearly black lives do not matter to other blacks then why expect white folk to
Care about black lives.
Black on white crime is through the roof & disproportionately high, Blacks in large
Numbers any where are a nuisance & unruly - hell even the black women who
Came up with black lives matter once they got lots of money moved to predominantly
White affluent areas, why didn't they move to high concentration of blacks area ??
Facts are the vast majority are not the same as white folk, They as a community all across
The World have to take on board their actions do not help themselves.
Killing each other, fatherless children, mothers with 7 kids & 9 different fathers not knowing
Who's father to whom, destruction of their own homes & areas, destruction of other folks
Areas, obnoxious & overly loud behaviour, gold teeth, expensive mbl phones & trainers,
Low IQ levels etc etc .
Fact the vast majority are not the same as white folk.
Blacks are largely responsible for their own plight & have to admit it & modify their
Attitude & behaviours.
When Black lives matter to Blacks maybe just maybe they'll start to matter to others.
Personally until such time I say Bollocks to black lives matter.
